Synopsis
Rashi is the acronym for Rabbi Schlomo Yitzhaki (1030-1105), that is Rabbi Solomon son of Isaac. He was born in Troyes in northern France, and became an influential writer in several genres. The commentary translated here is presumed to be among the last of his prolific mature work completed after 1070, partly because he did not comment on some of the verses of Psalms perhaps because death overtook him, and partly because he alludes in it to his earlier work. The editor, and presumably translator, is rabbi Mayer I. Gruber (Bible and ancient near east, Ben-Gurion U.). He provides the Hebrew text of the commentary in the end matter, as well as a substantial introduction. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Rashi's Commentary on Psalms (Brill Reference Library of Judaism.)
Seller: Antiquariaat Spinoza, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Leiden, Brill, 2004. XVI, 914 pp. Owner's signature inner frontcover. Else internally very good and clean. Hardcover, lower corner slightly bumped, some scratches on backcover. Heavy volume. For shipment outside Europe, extra postage required. This new volume in the Reference Library of Judaism faithfully presents the complete Hebrew text of Rashi's (1040-1105) psalter commentary according to Vienna Heb. ms. 220 together with a fully annotated scientific translation into contemporary idiomatic English. The supercommentary places one of the finest commentaries by the single most influential Hebrew biblical exegete in dialogue with the full gamut of ancient, medieval and modern exegesis. The supercommentary identifies Rashi's sources and pinpoints the exegetical cruces to which Rashi responds, defines the nuances of Rashi's exegetical, linguistic and theological terminolgy, and guides readers to use the translation to gain access to the Hebrew. The introductory chapters constitute the most up-to-date discussion of the scope of Rashi's literary legacy and of the history of research. They include highly original discussions of the Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah commentaries commonly attributed to Rashi and fully annotated English translations of 1) Rashi's programmatic essay on the problem of homonymity in biblical exegesis; 2) Rashi's commentaries on liturgical poetry; 3) one of Rashi's liturgical poems, and 4) the famous medieval poem, which declares Rashi to be the Torah Commentator par excellence. The final result is a valuable resource for students and scholars alike. Seller Inventory # 54216
